9.00 am (9:15 am start) to 4:00 pm.

What is the difference between an allegation and a complaint? What if the person isn’t our employee? What does part 4 of KCSIE require us to do and what about keeping records afterwards?

This training event is suitable for members of the school leadership team, heads of department and / or HR officers who may in the future refer, be asked to investigate, or oversee an investigation of, an allegation against a member of staff or volunteer.

Aim
To equip delegates with the skills and understanding to recognise allegations of professional abuse and undertake robust disciplinary investigations.

Learning Objectives
By the end of the course, delegates will:

• be able to describe a range of behaviours that could be considered ‘allegations of professional abuse’
• fulfil the requirements of KCSIE in relation to low level concerns (LLC)
• be familiar with the statutory guidance and relevant legislation, including time-scales and record-keeping
• review and, if necessary, update their own policy and procedures to ensure best practice
• have a sound understanding of the role and responsibilities of an investigating officer
• be able to plan then undertake an efficient investigation and draw conclusions confidently
• appreciate when suspension may be appropriate, and possible alternatives to suspension
• understand which circumstances invoke the legal duty to refer to regulatory bodies

As this is a virtual training event you will require audio/visual capability i.e. desktop with webcam plus headphones and a microphone or laptop/device with microphone and camera.  Delegates will be required to have their camera on during the training.

Certificates will be emailed to participants following the completion of the training and receipt of a completed evaluation form.  To receive your certificate you must be in attendance for the whole event.
